Éamon Ó Cuív: Ar an gcéad dul síos, ba mhaith liom fíorbhuíochas a ghabhadh leis an Aire Stáit as ucht teacht isteach tráthnóna. Tá a fhios agam nach bhfuil sé éasca teacht ag an am seo den oíche ach tá mé cinnte mar iar-chúlbhinseoir é féin go dtuigfidh sé an tábhacht a bhaineann le Aire ón Roinn a mbaineann an...

Dara Calleary: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Éamon Ó Cuív as ucht na díospóireachta seo a thabhairt os ár gcomhair anocht. I do not disagree with anything the Deputy said but I will give him the formal response. As the Deputy knows, and as he has acknowledged, Ireland wants to continue to be a European and digital global leader. Ireland is strongly committed to...

Mairead Farrell: 66. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills for an update on the expansion of mental health service across third-level institutions. [26569/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mental Health Services (25 Jun 2024)
Mairead Farrell: I want to ask about the expansion of mental health services across third-level institutions. This is of huge concern to students at this moment in time, particularly because they are facing very long waiting lists to see a service. When the amount of mental health supports are compared with the number of students in the universities, they just do not seem to be adequate at this point. What...

Patrick O'Donovan: I thank Deputy Farrell for raising this important issue. We had quite a good discussion with regard to disabilities in the previous session. This session has been dominated by the issue of accommodation. I am glad this issue has been raised because I have a particular interest in it. Well-being and student mental health are priorities for me and the Department. Higher education...

Mairead Farrell: I will give the Minister some context about why I am asking this question. First, I have met with many different students. This is a key issue that keeps coming up with the students' unions and broadly with the students as well. Galway is a place I know well. A GP came to me and said that because of the lack of adequate mental health supports within the universities, they are seeing a...

Patrick O'Donovan: I thank the Deputy. To give some examples, the higher education institutions received €5 million for this. The Atlantic Technological University, which has a very substantial campus in Galway, in 2023 received an allocation of €431,667. The University of Galway received an allocation of €316,438. We all have the same objective here. I have been in Deputy Farrell's...

Mairead Farrell: There was a problem with the Minister's predecessor who had a habit of making reannouncements. I have mentioned it before and I saw it regarding mental health supports and the funding for them - unfortunately, I cannot get the figure, although I tried to search for it - where there was an announcement as though it was extra, additional funding, but it was actually just the funding that was...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mental Health Services (25 Jun 2024)
Patrick O'Donovan: This is not an issue that is confined to one part of the country nor is it confined to a conversation between one Deputy and another. This is an issue that we all, unfortunately, come into contact with. It is important to point out this was starting from a zero base. The former Minister, who is now Taoiseach, allocated approximately €5 million per year since 2020. That was to...
